FLOMAX  (TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE):  Tamsulosin is used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate often or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tamsulosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. Do not use this medication to treat high blood pressure.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-04-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Bph Little tiredness, decreased volume in ejaculation Had urinary retention and had to use catheters for a week, after starting this med urinary flow got better and better each day. Now I am peeing normal again. This pill also makes me horny as hell and get erections periodically throughout the day. As for the orgasms holy s! Very intense and when orgasm starts it takes about 5 seconds before anything comes out which means it lasts longer too. The volume of semon released is less but who cares when the orgasm is that good M 50 25 days

 1  Ureteral Reimplantation Surgery Nausea, chest pain, extreme back pain, constant tremors, difficulty breathing, kept feeling like I was going to have a seizure Was prescribed this after ureteral reimplantation surgery, as well as Oxycode for the pain. I didn't take the Flomax until one week after surgery and by day 10 wound up in the ER for what I thought was severe withdrawal symptoms from the Oxy. It kept feeling like I was going to have a seizure. Neither ER doc nor surgeon could figure out why I had these symptoms and didn't think it was withdrawal since it kept getting worse. I figured it out on my own by researching it online. This is the worst side effects I've ever had from a medication and cannot believe 2 doctors never attributed my symptoms to this med. I felt normal by the next day after discontinuing this. F 41 3 days

 1  Post surgery- ureteroscopy After reading the side effects online I immediately identified this drug as the cause to my flu like symptoms. I had ureteroscopy to remove a kidney stone 9 days ago. Completed flomax 2 days ago and still feel side effects. Effects include dizziness, nausea, dehydration, dry mouth, confusion and basically mental functions effected that just can’t be explained. I did not feel myself after taking this drug and even days after taking. Makes you feel like you are on a drug come down. Do not use this drug. Endless you want to feel dope sick do not take this drug. M 28 7 days

 1  Possible Kidney Stone Terrible drug. Was taking generic Flomax. SEVERE dizziness, intense muscle weakness especially in legs, very low mood, insomnia, severe back pain and some dental pain.There should be way more warnings about this medication. Off medication for 1 month and still experience the side effects. Odd since the medication should be long gone. Be aware it can apparently complicate future cataract surgery. Very upsetting. Do your research. Upsetting. 57 8 days

 1  BPH Vertigo, weakness, shakiness, depersonalization, mental fog, inability to concentrate, forgot English grammar, tunnel vision, partial blindness, slurred speech, stuttering, metallic taste in mouth, etc. I went to the emergency room because I thought I was having a stroke. My mind felt disconnected from the present. My speech was slurred; and forming words and sentences became very difficult. I was weak and dizzy, and found it hard to drive because I felt so disconnected from my car and the road. I stopped taking it two days ago and I'm feeling a lot better. It was a lot like smoking weed, but without any of the good parts. All that said, it did making peeing a lot easier. M 54 6 weeks

 1  Kidney stones Extremely dry, hardened sinus causing headache. REFLUX, all the time. Haven’t had it that bad since pregnancy. Hemmorrhoids flared up significantly. It takes a couple weeks for side effects to calm down after discontinued. Have read lots of research about the improved passage of kidney stones...seems like it works without a problem for many, but those that can’t tolerate it, really cannot. I will not take this again.
